Stichopodidae family

Table 3. The spectrum of antimicrobial action of triterpene glycosides from sea cucumbers of the family Stichopodidae and their derivatives...

Some triterpene glycosides from holothurians belonging to the family Stichopodidae show also antitumor activities [67, 60]. Holotoxin Al (33) from Apostichopus (=Stichopus) japonicus inhibited the growth of the solid form of Ehrlich tumor and Sarcoma-37 in mice on 37-65 and 13-53 %, respectively, at doses of 1.25 and 2.50 mg/kg. Triterpene glycosides from Holothuria forskali have cytotoxic activities against tumor cells [68].
